Multiobjective Optimal Design of an Inverter Fed Axial Flux Permanent Magnet In-Wheel Motor for Electric Vehicles

Field-Weakening Performance Improvement of the Yokeless and Segmented Armature Axial Flux Motor for Electric Vehicles

In order to avoid the unsafe operation and raise efficiency of yokeless and segmented armature axial flux motors at high speed, the control current of air gap flux is expected to be as small as possible with the same field-weakening effect. To reduce the control complexity, a new structure of module poles with a combination of permanent magnet and soft magnetic material is proposed, which has t...

Optimal Design of Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor for Electric Vehicle Applications Using GAand FEM

Axial Flux Permanent Magnet (AFPM) machines are attractive candidates for Electric Vehicles (EVs) applications due to their axial compact structure, high efficiency, high power and torque density. This paper presents general design characteristics of AFPM machines. Moreover, torque density of the machine which is selected as main objective function, is enhanced by using Genetic Algorithm (GA) a...

Modelling and Test Verification of Suspension Optimal Damping Ratio for Electric Vehicles Considering Occupant-cushion and In-wheel Motor Effects

The damping ratio of chassis suspension is a key parameter for damping matching of in-wheel motor vehicles (IWMVs). Because the motor is attached to the driving wheel, the initial design method of the damping ratio for traditional cars is not entirely suitable for IWMVs. This paper proposes an innovative initial design method of the damping ratio for IWMVs. Firstly, a traveling vibration model ...

Ride Comfort Optimization of In-Wheel-Motor Electric Vehicles with In-Wheel Vibration Absorbers

Abstract: This paper presents an in-wheel vibration absorber for in-wheel-motor electric vehicles (IWM EVs), and a corresponding control strategy to improve vehicle ride comfort. The proposed in-wheel vibration absorber, designed for suppressing the motor vibrations, is composed of a spring, an annular rubber bushing, and a controllable damper. The parameters of the in-wheel spring and rubber b...
